What use do I want in this troubled world

Chapter 25
Town entrance, under the banyan tree.

Yan Rong stood there like a stone sculpture, straight and motionless.

Seeing that guy from a distance, Wu Manguan curled his lips and whispered in his sister's ear: "Pretend to be struck by lightning, and I hate seeing his sinister face, just like a dark soldier."

Xu Wenfeng said heartily, the sloth is quite accurate, isn't it just the Yin soldiers under the King of Hades.

When the two approached, Yan Rong turned around blankly: "Follow me."

Wu Manguan stuck out his tongue silently behind his back and made a face. It can be said that he was full of resentment towards the man who would kill his whole family at every turn.

As expected, he was still a child... Xu Wenfeng felt childish, but at the same time, his eyes also warned Wu Manguan, telling him to be quiet, so as not to cause trouble, she just wanted to go home and lie down to eat and drink.

Yan Rong led them through the back door and entered a mansion.

Entering the side hall, Geng Yi was leaning on the old man's chair to pick his teeth. Seeing Yan Rong, he quickly threw away the bamboo stick, straightened his posture, invited him to a seat with a bright smile, and hurriedly called for tea.

Xu Wenfeng raised his eyelids slightly, doubting, is this thing disturbing my leisurely life?

It's not like, this person doesn't have the majesty of a master in front of Yan Rong, but instead exudes a little smell of licking a dog.

Geng Yi looked at Wu Manguan with wide eyes: "This is that kid?"

Yan Rong hummed.

Geng Yi looked at Xu Wenfeng again, but in the end he looked lonely, the girl wanted to hang her head down to her navel, she couldn't see her face clearly, and she was so ugly that she couldn't show her face: "Is this his accomplice?"

Xu Wenfeng: "..."

Yan Rong hummed again.

Geng Yi waved: "Both of you, come forward and talk."

Xu Wenfeng moved forward a few steps, Wu Manguan followed her when she moved, and as soon as she stepped into the house, Wu Manguan stood next to his sister tremblingly the whole time.

His sister has already taught him bad lessons. Under the feudal dynasty, the powerful enjoyed supreme privileges, and the law was only a tool used to regulate and restrain the common people. When the untouchables make a slight mistake, they will kill you if they are unhappy, and there is no reason to reason.

In short, if you are not careful, you will be killed.

Geng Yi was about to ask the two of them to look up, when he saw the second master strolling in the courtyard outside the hall,

Geng Yi stood up abruptly, Yan Rong also got up from his seat and stepped aside.

Saluting respectfully, welcoming him into the seat, Geng Yi's eyes twinkled, isn't it up to him to handle this matter?

Is the second master acting on a whim in his spare time, or is he worried about him?

The latter is not so good.

The straight and tall figure walked unhurriedly through the hall and took a seat at the head.

Xu Wenfeng evaded sideways to stand aside, and quickly took a glance from the corner of his eye.

The young gentleman is wearing a deep crimson brocade robe with narrow waist and wide sleeves, with gilded dark patterns on the front, and a gold silk spider pattern belt of the same color around his waist. One hand rests leisurely on the armrest of the carved pear wood chair, and his fingertips touch it once and for all. Buckle lightly.

Well, this is a man with a lot of shit.

This is the Lord.

Seeing the two of them standing still, Geng Yi sternly shouted: "You don't know the etiquette, why don't you come and see my second master."

If you change to ordinary mud legs, wouldn't you be kneeling on the ground a long time ago, scared out of your wits?

Does it mean to make him kneel down?Wu Manguan felt sad, the hateful old society!

Trembling and about to kneel, Xu Wenfeng stretched out his hand and grabbed him on the back to prevent him from kneeling down, then took a step past him, bowed his head and said: "The daughter of the people has seen the nobleman."

Wu Manguan drew a gourd in the same way: "The daughter of the people has met the nobleman."

Geng Yi couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing out loud, was he scared out of his wits?I was so scared that I couldn't even tell if I was a man or a woman.

Lu Yu's tone was light: "I heard that you have a recipe to dedicate to me?"

Xu Wenfeng just hehe, listen, are you talking in human language? Who the hell wants to offer you a prescription? The knife holder neck is also called offering?
Don't look at Lu Yu's calm tone, but there is a sense of coercion. The rare awakened intuition tells Wu Manguan that this person is more dangerous than the person who holds the hilt of the sword at all times.

Trembling, Wu Manguan took out the recipe.

The dog leg Geng Yi took it first, and Baba presented it as if it was a prescription offered by him.

Lu Yu shook the paper, looked carefully, folded it into square tofu cubes, and stuffed it into his cuffs, his expression suddenly became a little cold: "This is the textile dyeing formula, where is the printing and dyeing formula?"

The extreme coldness made people feel a chill in their bones.

Wu Manguan couldn't speak smoothly anymore, he stuttered and confused, and Lu Yu's expression gradually became impatient.

No way, Xu Wenfeng had no choice but to stand up and answer: "My lord, we don't have any printing and dyeing formulas. To be honest, even the dyeing formulas were only made up with our brains. I really don't know what the nobleman said about printing and dyeing." .”

Although "Original Version: Textile and Dyeing" includes textile dyeing and printing and dyeing, the printing and dyeing technology in this world has just entered the initial stage. Isn't it easy for others to peek at such treasures?

It is impossible to justify itself, and the previous story will be completely overturned.

Lu Yu's cold eyes fell on the top of Xu Wenfeng's head and paused for a moment, his voice could not distinguish between emotions and anger: "Who are you?"

The pupils under Xu Wenfeng's eyelids remained calm, and he answered with a straight face: "I am in the same village as him, and we have shared adversity. Back then, our whole village fled to the south of the Yangtze River, and life was unsustainable. He entered the Bai family with a contract of living. After getting acquainted with him, he brought me to a textile workshop to do odd jobs, and I knew about him."

Pausing for a while, it seemed a bit difficult to say: "The thing given to the little beggar is indeed not clean. At that time, the Bai family suddenly caught fire, and took advantage of the chaos to get some ill-gotten gains."

Lu Yu gave him a very indifferent glance, picked up the teacup without saying a word, and drank it quietly, feeling full of oppression.

Thin beads of sweat oozed from Wu Manguan's back, and his inner singlet was soaked.

Xu Wenfeng was not affected at all, and continued nonsense calmly: "I believe that the nobleman should see one or two clues. He is not very clever, and he often makes behaviors that make others unimaginable. His temperament is also not very stable, and sometimes he is confused Muddy, but with a good heart."

Explain why he would give the precious thing to the little beggar. As for the last sentence, he is afraid that this guy has already sent someone to the village to inquire about it.

Fortunately, Wu Manguan has done a lot of good people and good deeds in the village recently, and his behavior at home has become obedient and obedient, saying that he has an unstable temperament and can make do with it.

Wu Manguan nodded frequently, looking silly.

Lu Yu looked inquiringly: "Then do you know when the Bai family developed such a superb printing and dyeing technique?"

Of course he knew about the Bai family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Bai family was one of the three major textile companies in the south of the Yangtze River. When the dyeing workshop of the Bai family caught fire, the house also burned down.

This one is tricky.

Xu Wenfeng took these things into consideration when he made up the story, and he couldn't fabricate it out of thin air. A lie is seven parts true and three parts false, so as to achieve the effect of confusing the public.

People from Yantan Village did flee to the south of the Yangtze River back then, Wu Manguan did enter the Bai family with a deed of work, and the original owner did indeed go to the Bai family workshop to do odd jobs.

When the fire broke out, Yuan Wu Manguan was so frightened that he didn't have time to escape, so he didn't even think about stealing things.

It is true that the Bai family specializes in printing and dyeing, but it is certainly far from being produced by a modern factory, but all of this has been buried along with the fire.

Xu Wenfeng shook his head: I don't know, how can we lowly people know such a top-secret craft.That night, Wu Manguan and I were on duty in the weaving workshop, and Fang was lucky to survive. "

"Later, the folk girl heard the rumors in the market, and it seemed that it was because of the printing and dyeing technique that the Bai family suffered the disaster of destroying the family. I don't know how many."

Rumors circulated in the streets and alleys. Although Xu Wenfeng did not experience it personally, he also knew that the massacre of the Bai family was not that simple, and it might be deeply involved in the political affairs of the court.
